“The conversation has been brilliant and supportive. Superbly delivered – felt very relaxed and have learnt a lot. Leaving feeling much more supported and confident in how to develop.”
Abigail Smith – Dementia connections, 2021
“The Dementia Connections course is close to my heart. I spent many years working with older people and witnessed time and time again the amazing impact creativity could have. It’s really important to remember that getting old isn’t all doom and gloom! This course will help shine a light on the possibilities for sharing more wonderful moments, whatever people’s circumstances“
